Arsenal are reportedly working on a deal to sign Leroy Sane next summer, with Newcastle United also in the mix.
According to Football Insider, Arsenal are set to make a move for Leroy Sane, who is available on a free transfer next summer. Either then or in the January window, Mikel Arteta could potentially make a low-cost bid for the 28-year-old Bayern Munich winger, with Newcastle United also interested in signing him from the Bundesliga club.
The arrival of Michael Olise has reduced Leroy Sane’s minutes under Vincent Kompany, as the liklihood of the 28-year-old winger moving on are high at the moment. The 65-cap German international is yet to start a game for Bayern Munich in any competition this season, which is a bit concerning.
He has maintained his attacking standards and has two goals in all competitions, although he might not have a starting spot in the team unless there are a plethora of injuries in the squad. In any case, Sane’s contract is due to expire in the summer, meaning there is a big chance he will leave for a new challenge on a free transfer.
There are interested clubs from the Premier League, with Arsenal and Newcastle United keen and some other teams also in the mix. The idea of bringing the experienced 28-year-old winger back to the Premier League will be a good mid-term solution for any of those teams, with Mikel Arteta likely to be more interested.
Arsenal were keen in the summer but could not formulate a move owing to many factors. The Gunners are considering a bid in the January window, although there is a chance that, due to Raheem Sterling’s presence, they could push for a free transfer in the summer.
Will Sane return to the Premier League?
Sane would be keen to return to the Premier League if there was a good enough project for him. Newcastle United’s interest might play a big factor in his decision-making, as the Magpies could potentially offer him a starting role, unlike Arsenal or Chelsea.
The Magpies are in the market for a right-winger and could offer him a good position in the squad. Arsenal might be the bigger club in this context. However, they already have Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli as starting wingers on either flank, which will probably see the 28-year-old come in for a backup role.
